Business Climate


Florida's Climate is Business-Friendly

At the Sunshine State, Florida's warm and sunny weather draws residents and visistors eager to experience all the state has to offer, including the many opportunties and strong suppport it provides for business and industry.
"Not only is Florida a gret place to call home, it's a great place to dod business." says Cynthia Shelton, 2009 President of the Florida Association of Realtors. "Our state has made it a priority to not only encourage new businesses and industries to come to Florida, but to provide the kind of supportive climate that entrepreneurs and businesses need to succeed and prosper. Florida is the fourth most populous state in the U.S., with a large and diverse population fueling innovation and highly skilled workforce."
Enterprise Florida, a public-private partnership devoted to statewide economic development, notes Florida's business strengths on iths Web site (www.eflorida.com) along with a list of recent accolades the state has received:
* Florida continues to be one of the best states for business, ranking No. 1 in the nation for workforce; among the top 10 in technology and innovation, and also in access to capital, and moving up to rank third overall in Chief Executive's survey of the best places for jobs and business growth. (Chief Executive, March 2009)
* Four Florida metros, Orlando, Miami-Ft.Lauderdale, Cape Coral-Fort Myers and Jacksonville, are among the nation's best places to start a small business. (Bizjournals. Feb 2009)
* Florida has the second highest number (tied with Washington) of leading metropolitan areas on the Milken Institute/Greenstreet Real Estate Partners Best Performing Cities 2008-2009 Largest Metros Index. Florida consistently ranks among the top states in this annual report, which measures economic growth, job creation and technology growth. (Milken Institute, Septemeber 2008)
* Florida continues to gain ground among the nation's top states for entrepreneurship, moving up to the rank fourth overall in the 2008 Small Business Survival Index.
